Shockwave/Flash is available as a Linux plug-in as is RealPlayer... but the real
gem is Plugger (http://fredrik..hubbe.net/plugger.html), which lets you use
existing Linux apps to handle multimedia and directs it back to the browser.

Which brings to mind the next question... when you say "plugins for PDF", etc.,
do you mean that Konq will properly interpret the EMBED tag and show these
documents in the browser window as it should?  Or simply that it launches the
app?  A good way to tell is to go to the Plugger testing grounds at
(http://fredrik.hubbe.net/plugger/test.html).  You should be able to see graphics
and videos in the web pages.
